New Zealand superstar Thrilling Brat has been scratched from the Group 1 Zoom Top this Saturday night.

Trainer Karen Walsh was ‘shattered’ that she had to scratch the Group 1 Superstayers winner from last year due to injury.

There were two other scratchings from the race, as Johnny Ringo and Arising have also come out of the field.

Reserve 9 (Erica Allen) will now advance into the final field, with her draw to be finalised on race morning as per the usual manner.
